Christmas in the Villages is put on year at the Wildwood Community Center. Thirty or more vendor showed up to show off their services or products. The weather was good and hundreds of people attended. What for it next year.
With the New Year upon us, many people, including me, are happy to say good riddance to 2020! Moving forward, the Lady Lake Police Department would like to remind you to check around your home to ensure that all alarms, monitors, and detectors are in good working condition. These include your smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector. It’s a good idea to change the batteries in these detectors every year. You may want to have them replaced if you have not done so within the past 10 years.
It should come as no surprise that carbon monoxide deaths are the highest in winter. Cold weather increases the use of gas-powered heating or portable heaters using a fuel source. Homeowners should be aware of the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, especially those that use natural gas as a heat and cooking source. These symptoms include feeling dizzy, light headed, and/or nauseated.
It’s a good time to remember the following safety tips to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Here are some tips from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
The Expo was held on the Lady Lake Soccer field. Each Vender had a tent and table set up to show their business literature and educate them on how best use that business, there were probably almost 30 vendors. Wrapped all the way around the vendors was a car show with vintage over a hundred cars. It took me back to the old days, love those vintage cars & trucks. I was a car collector years ago, I had a 36 Buick Coupe, a 37 dodge pickup, a couple of 32 ford in various condition to make street rods with, 39 Ford coupe with a 389 cubic inch pontiac engine, a couple of Packards, 57 Chevy two door and etc . I miss the 57 Chevy most! Anyway the cars on show were mint.
